Industry and Sectors

In the complex business environments in which our clients operate, there is a surprising level of commonality in terms of the challenges which have to be faced and the opportunities which present themselves

Efficient and effective operations, cost control, quality and optimal use and alignment of workforce are all common threads shared by most businesses.

There are however elements which are not common and where a deeper knowledge of an industry or sector proves invaluable. In every industry and sector in which we operate we have delivered on our commitments and proven our worth, drawing on our knowledge and experience.

New organisation design cements marketing and sales and drives alignment to customer based solutions

In an environment where commodity prices on agricultural produce were spiralling and the market for agro chemical based yield enhancement solutions was booming our clients revenews were flat and they were losing market share.

  • Complete structural redesign of marketing and sales operations.
  • Full process capability assessment and gap analysis resulting in process optimisation where necessary and new process creation.
  • Customer message changed from a product based offering to a solutions based message which incorporated multiple complimentary products all suited to optimising yield on one crop.
  • New Sales offices opened to improve geographical focus and headcount increased by 30%
  • Client currently on forecast growth path and ROI calculations are all being exceeded

Growing Revenues by improving plant asset efficiencies

With a market which could consume more than could be supplied and allocations common place a solution was rapidly needed to address the capacity limitation the manufacturing plants had unwittingly imposed.

  • Plant bottlenecks identified and new planning and prioritisation process designed, 25% additional capacity created.
  • Number of different SKU’s reduced by 50%, driving down changeovers and improving capacity in packaging operations
  • Improvement in production delivery performance achieved by overhaul to planning process and correcting standard time in MRP system
  • Wider lean deployment facilitated.
  • Project net Benefit estimated to be £200m per annum

Spiraling operating costs leaving contracts unprofitable

New logistics contract implementation for national sales and distribution to top tier resteraunts and food outlets had been poorly designed and implemented, Order accuracy, ontime delivery and overall contract profitability were major issues.

  • Telesales and order capture process and timetable aligned to mirror sequence of trunking schedules ensuring order captured in correct sequence.
  • Warehouse picking operations moved to single order and marshalling. Flow reduced number of live orders being picked in warehouse to maximum of 6 at a time, pick labour per order reduced by 30%
  • Improvement in production delivery performance achieved by overhaul to planning process and correcting standard time in MRP system
  • Vehicle fill methodology and primary trunking schedules changed to drive optimal use of network and assets.
  • Project net effects saw ontime delivery and order accuracy consistently exceed contract requirement, and contact costs reduced by in excess of 30%
